USDM  
89-94 240sx 254x20mm 258x9mm

JDM  
91-on RS13 (180sx) 280x22mm 258x9mm 2.0L

So yes JDM 180sx Front Brakes are bigger… 26mm x 2mm is the rotor size and the Caliper is QUITE a bit bigger…

Caliper ( in Canada anyway) is from a Maxima and the Rotor is from an Altima

yeah, i have S13 silvia front brakes, but due to the bitching pads they ate the rotors and i’m wondering if i can get away with using stock 240sx front rotors (not stock, just stock size).

I wouldnt try using a 180sx Caliper with a 240sx rotor

26mm is quite a difference you know.

Just get rotors from an Altima which I believe would be a 1995 range? (I’m not 100%) but Im sure someone else can confirm the year
